Our new place to chat about our beautiful toddlers! Where have our babies gone???

[KLou111]

Another thread girls, can't believe we're here already!

Ha ha, think that's just you liz!
I didn't go last night, my abs started hurting and my back has been killing since yesterday afternoon so ill go back Tuesday. I've done a list of exercises that I might do tonight in the kitchen when Euans gone to bed as robs going out.

Well, my neighbour had a baby girl yesterday morning (16 months between her and ds, she found out she was pg Xmas day after ds being ivf, bit of a shock!) She's lovely on the piccies.
Then a couple around the corner who came to see our house and put in a low offer have pink balloons outside their house too, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were in together! Assuming the same hospital.
I'm having the next one at home if I can, can't be dealing with a university hospital 20 mins away, too bloody big after carmarthen, and the other hospital is about 30 mins away, plus I get a private mw at home all to myself

You know what, I knew you was going to say that! You seem like a bad ass toughie and knew you would want to do that! You go for it. Think of the lovely tea and cuddles eith all of you in the sme bed just hours after.

Any plans for the weekend? We're taking the kids out sunday, not too sure about Monday. Sunday were going to twin lakes. Going with some friends with older kids too so should be a good day. not much for violet to do but I'm sure she will just love being free all day

Bad ass toughie ha ha ha ha ha! Wouldn't say that! But Euan wasn't too bad and I don't fancy leaving him too long either. Love the idea like you say of being cuddled in bed just after, and I hated being in hospital when they kept me in overnight due to being so busy, despite having him at 4.25am!!

Oh, twin lakes that's where we looked at taking Euan. Have fun! Weather is meant to be nice this weekend.

Not a lot planned, were meant to be having a family BBQ tomorrow as was fil birthday yesterday, but there's a beer festival on locally so fil going to that and they're all coming here Monday instead as robs brother is off.

We take the pram most places. If we are going out for the day anyway. He doesn't really nap during the day now tho which is why we brought the pram so might start bringing his reins instead. When the baby comes we might just get a buggy board.

What is twin lakes? And where is it?

Nick felt the baby move this morning . She kicked pretty hard so I had just got him to put his hand there and she did it again. Love it!

Went shopping with mum yesterday and paid for my new pram. Sold my old one last week so thought it was time to pay for the new one lol.

Twin lakes is an outdoor activity park type thing, part park, part theme park, part indoor play, abit of everything really, got a aminal area too. Lots to do, but more for the older kid rather than our kids age. We ended up not going there as the friends we were ment to be going eith were up late so ended up just going to water meadows swimming and pub for tea

It's at Melton Mowbray .

Going to Nottingham tomorrow to the outdoor public beach that's in the slab square. Should be interesting!

Yey for the kicking! Best pArt of it,
What pram did you get?

Twin lakes sounds fab, Shane it's so far away. Could take him when he was a bit bigger.

How was Nottingham liz? Has the weather been nice? It's been pretty warm here.
We have just been to the park and to see my parents and nicks mum.

Got the mamas and papas sola and the Aton car seat. Love it! Got it in a nice purple and pink. I did order a green/grey colour which was pretty neutral but then changed it to purple in Monday now I know baby is a girl hehe.

Hi ladies,
Shame you didn't go to twin lakes in the end liz, hope you had a great weekend though.

Pram sounds fab iwish which one did you sell? Bet you can't wait to get girlie stuff as well as boy stuff! Did you have a nice weekend?

Had a busy one here. Went out for breaky with friends Sunday, out to the park in the afternoon.
BBQ at ours for the in laws monday, then to another park yesterday with the water park bit, i remembered Euans swimmers this time!
Been to toddlers this morning and just come back from walking the dog at the local country park.

All good here. Didn't want to jinx it by saying earlier, but Euan has slept the last 4 nights all through in his bed
I'd had enough of reading him to sleep, then him coming in with us so I just though enough was enough. Rob went out Friday night so I thought I'd try the shutting the door thing again. Ie stay in bed leave the door open, get out of bed and I'd close it, and you know what, it bloody worked!
I'd tried it before, but he didn't understand, whereas this time it's clicked.
He's been up in the night later and later too, which is great and I just put him back to bed and he goes back off, also his gro clock is back on which seems to be working.
This morning he woke at 3.45, I put him back to bed, up at 7.35
Yesterday was 1.30/6.50, day before 2.15/6.30, day before 11.30/7.45. God how much better do we feel!
Went to my exercise class last night and he wouldn't go to sleep for rob as waiting for me to get back so we need to work on that.

Trying to get him to stay in bed before we move as he'll be on a different floor to us, fingers crossed this is the start of things to come. Am rather enjoying getting in and out of bed without a futon on the floor!

All going through ok move wise, surveys to be done as mortgage guy was on holiday til yesterday so all going through ok. Gunning for mid November to move

Morning all, are you both well???

Good pram choice iwish, I really like those, they're very pretty!

Hope it all goes well for you move wise, and sleeping wise choccy. Mum and dad have signed their contracts for their house sale, but the buyers rang yest to say they couldn't get the original mortgage they were having cause of he separate dwelling st the bottom of the garden, now gotto try for a business mortgage. What a piss take. It's all in the sir yet again, but with no other interested people, just got to wait and see. There new house is about ready and they're hoping to move in in a week or so.

We're off in the caravan today till Sunday. Chatsworth!!!! Yippee!!!! Was ment to be going about 11, but works busy so Chris might have to go and take kids and caravan nd I will come later on after work.

Hi both

I don't get that liz, surely the mortgage surveyors came out ages ago, I can't believe they've only just been told they can't have it? I think they're trying to stall it.....

They're not coming to do the survey on our house til next Friday, and the mortgage peeps doing the other one want our self assessments for this year, fab that's our weekend then! Yawn! H
Hopefully they'll go to do that next week too.

Had a nice day on our own doing nothing yesterday.
Just had a quick nip into town to get a few bits, then drove past our new house and the sold sign is finally up
Had a drink (well, rob did) on way home, then went out last night for a few drinks (non alch for me now) and curry take away on way home.

What you up to this weekend

Oh yes, sorry, chats worth!

Bloody thing keeps posting!

Hope you're having fun x

How are we all ladies?

All good here, Euan still sleeping through hurrah, although his wake time seems to have settled around 6.30! Still, I'm just grateful that we can all sleep a proper night now!

Had a lovely weekend. Nipped to the in laws on Saturday for the afternoon, then robs best friend came over yesterday with his son (8). Not sure if I told you, he's currently splitting from his wife, house sale and divorce almost finalised. Such a shame as they started going out the December after we started going out in the September. Was a lovely afternoon, we went geocaching later on, that was fun lol!

Evening all, hope you both had lovely weekends.

Choccy, as ar as I know, no one went to the house to look at anything! The actual surveyor man only went last week, he's the man who checks what condition the house is in, apart from that, no one else came. I think it's sorted now, they're getting the title deeds split, then 2 separate mortgages, which should hopefully only add on a couple of weeks. I don't think it's the buyers trying to stall, they've given mum nd dad some money for some furniture they're buying, and seem to be as peed off eith it as we are. But dads solicitor is on the job.

We have a good weekend, chatsworth was great, the show on Friday was busy, but manageable. The kids love caravanning, although violet is a sod to get to sleep cause he's not used to being out her cot. She kept getting out of bed nd massing about. But god I was glad to get the kids in a Bath!! I washed them in the shower tray. But nothing beats sitting them in a bath of water!

Blimey liz, they're taking their time! We've normally got the mortgage surveyor on the go within a week of agreeing a price!
Hopefully it goes through quickly

Glad you had a good time away bar violet getting up and bathing in the shower tray We looked at getting a caravan a while back as you could just hook it up and get away, but we didn't obviously get one.

Well, I maybe getting a bit ahead of myself, but this morning and late last night I have the beginnings of ewcm I didn't have the on my first cycle last time, so am quite excited it's there! its still quite thin, but there. Also my cervix has gone a lot higher than the last few days. Eek, think my body may still be working . I've bought some opk sticks, which I didn't use last time, just to check everything is still working.

Glad you had a good time at chatsworth liz. I know what you mean about the bath. When we stayed in the caravan Joshua came in the shower with me or nick but it was a pain. Soooo much easier in the bath.

Yey for Euans sleeping choc. Bet you feel so refreshed!
And yey for your body working again. I used opks and they kind if reassured me that all was ok. Hope it happens quick for you. We only dtd once this time lol. Took 6 months last time.

Feeling shattered running around after Joshua recently and feel huge! The bump: i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z390/nikkie5353/null_zps77ecaeef.jpg
My friend who I was pregnant with last time (now has a daughter) had her 20 week scan this morning and she's having a little boy! So excited, we have opposites again hehe.

Oooh and I've booked a 4d scan for 28th September too

Oh my god iwish, you really aren't huge!! You do look definatly pregnant, not just fat! How many weeks are you? It must be so nice to have a friend who's going through everything with you. I have been asked loads just lately, 'any more children then?' if I was def garuanteed a boy then I might think about it, but I just can't have any more. I can't imagine going through the baby stage again for a third time. I can see the end of nappies and pushchairs and it's so so near, I just can't bring myself to go through it all again. then on the other hand, if both my girls don't want to work in the yard, and neither of their partners want to run it, what happens when I die? Or get too old? A boy might be more inclined to take the business on, but even then, there's no garantee a boy would want to.

Re the house, mum and dad are completely fed up ith the whole process too, everything seems to go soooooo slow. Any other person would have ranted and raved to get things moving faster but they just let thing go and expect everyone works as fast as they can, but it's just not the awe nowadays is it. Such as, mum paid her phone bill by cheque. Always has, anyway they got a phone call to say the bill hasn't been paid. Dad said there must be a mistake, got abit irate and put the phone down. A week later their Internet cuts off. So got on the phone to bt, they haven't received the cheque from the bank, so mum paid by are over the phone, then goes to bank to stop cheque, but it's already been cleared, by bt presumably seeing as its made out to them and gone with the bill, yet they are going to look into it and get back to her in 7 days!!!! Nothing is ever done at he speed at which you expect it.

I'm 23 weeks liz. It's going so fast. And it's so lovely that me and my friend are so close. We always have each other to talk to. I'm loving her kicking now, she's getting stronger by the day.
Only bad thing is that I think SPD is kicking in now rather early. Feeling quite sore today I had it last time and it was horrid. Apparently 2nd time round it's worse. I didn't get it till almost 30 weeks last time.

One of this girls might happily run the yard I reckon. Boys can be little shits tho lol. Joshua is so much more ...erm... challenging than his female friends

Bloody hell 7 days to look into that!! thats rediculous! bet the end up giving them the money back if the cheque has cleared. What have you done today?

How are you choc?

Bloody hell iwish you're frikkin massive! ((Rolls eyes))
You've got a lovely neat bump. Glad you're getting lots of movement from bubba. Have you got any names yet?
Bet you can't wait for your scan!

Liz, I'm sure you can get one of the girls to run the yard with your persuasive powers . Like you say, there's no guarantee a boy would any more than a girl. You do it, so the girls will see that.
Hope your mum and dads house sorts itself out quickly.

Surveyor finally coming to our house tomorrow, then they'll probably go to the other one next week. They've taken an age this time! Rob says they probably got rid of loads of staff when the houses crashed, now they're getting busy again and don't have the staff.

Still happy shagging Rob reckons I should've come off the pill ages ago ha ha.
I've been doing opks the last few days and I've only had one line, but last night I had a faint second line. It's still negative I know, but am hoping it may get darker over the next day or so

Euan ok. His last 2 back bottom molars have come through in the last couple of weeks, the second one over the last few days and he's had a snuffle bless him. Ok in the day, just at night when he goes to bed he can't breathe. We had an early one this morning

I got a positive on my opk

Positive on the ovulation stick??? Not on the pregnancy test? Just me getting my head round it!

Ov stick liz lol, even I'm not that quick
It mean I'm still working at least

Yeh we are going to call her Lucy Amelia. Have had the first name since pregnant with Joshua but only got the middle name 2 months ago. Love it.
Bought her a couple of sleep suits today and also got a new changing bag for when she comes.
I'm excited for the scan, it's only 3 weeks away! Can't wait to see her again and in a bit more detail.
Am sick of people keep telling me how huge I am now tho . Of course in going to be bigger, I was a size 12 when I got pregnant with Joshua but was a size 16 this time. At least you guys make me feel better saying I'm not huge hehe [smile[

Yey to your positive opk choc! That's great news. So that means you will ov sonewhere between 12 and 72 hours doesnt it? lots of shagging for the next few days
Took me a couple of months to get a positive after I came off the pill to TTC Joshua.

These are what I bought today.
